Zacky's POV*

I went home and took a shower. My body reeked of alcohol. I'm surprised they even let me into see Nessa. I don't understand why she didn't tell me who did this to her. Was it someone we knew or does she not really know herself? As I was gettiing out of the shower, my mom was sitting on the couch giving me the stare of death. I tried to avoid it but I knew she was going to say whatever was on her mind.

"Zachary, I told you not to lose this one. You better take care of her by all means necessary. I can help with Jaymee when you need me but I want you to try and fix everything. I know this wasn't your fault but you need to be a man and find out who did this." My mother said with a stern yet concerned voice. She was right though. I needed to fix things.

"I know mom. Nessa wants me to take Jaymee by the hospital today, so you can go ahead and go home." I told her.

"Okay son. Just call me and I will come back. Give Nessa my love." She said as she gave me a kiss on my cheek and headed out the door. Jaymee was laying in her bed so I went to go grab her and get her dressed to see her mom. Looking at my daughter,she reminds me so much of Nessa. She has such big gorgeous eyes like her mothers. Nessa says she looks like me but I swear she's her spitting image. I put her in a little pink dress and then put her little sandals on. We made such a beautiful baby.

I carried Jaymee and went to the car to put her in her carseat and then started up the car to head over to Nessa. As usual, the drive there was pretty short. Though the parking lot was packed. It never seems like theres too many people inside but the cars outside tell otherwise. I grabbed Jaymee and walked in through the automatic doors up to the front desk. The nurse was friendly, probably cause Jaymee smiled at her and then sent us to Nessa's room. This time around there wasn't any officers guarding her door so maybe she told them all they needed to know. I walked in and Jaymee started making excited baby noises which got Nessa's attention. She smiled at us. God, her smile always got me.

"Just the two people I wanted to see." She smiled.

"She's happy to see her mommy. Can you hold her?" I asked not sure if I should hand Jaymee over to her.

"Yeah, just can't make sudden movements or lift anything heavy. But laying down should be fine." She smiled. I handed Jaymee to her.

"So when ya coming home babe?" I asked her.

"Maybe tomorrow. The doctor isn't sure yet and want to make sure nothing is too damaged. But she said so far so good. Being home would be nice right now. I'm so drained and these medications to ease the pain make me feel woozy." She said "woozy" in a baby voice as she was staring at Jaymee. I wanted to know who did this to her and just left her to bleed out. Or if they even knew she was still alive. She said it wasn't Gena but who would do this to her? Though I wanted to know, Nessa won't tell me until she was ready.

"Nessa..." I paused. "I hope you can still go on tour..."

"I already asked. As long as I feel I can handle it then i can go." She smiled at me.

Whew! I was thinking I'd have to put off popping the question again. I kissed Nessa on her forehead and she giggled. It was cute. I have no idea how she's managing to be so cheerful still. I'm just glad she's okay, though I'm still pretty worried.

Vanessa's POV*

"Nessa..." Zacky paused, "I hope you can still go on tour..."

"I already asked. As long as I feel I can handle it then I can go." I smiled.

His eyes filled with relief that I said yeah. Hmm, I wonder what his motives are for me to go. Either way being on tour would be nice and after everything that has happened, getting away from here seems like the best idea. Plus, my beautiful daughter will get to see new places rather than the hospital and our house. Jaymee giggled as if she knew what I was thinking. I just smiled at her. Slowly, I felt the need to fall asleep though. I guess I should probably have Zack take Jaymee home so I can sleep and they didn't have to sit in here with me.

"I'm starting to feel really drowzy. You guys can go home. In the morning I should be able to come home so make sure the house is clean so I don't feel compelled to do it myself." I laughed.

"Don't worry." Zacky smiled as he grabbed Jaymee and kissed my forehead.

"I love you guys." I smiled as they left the room. I could hear Jaymee starting to fuss. Mommy will be home soon.

Zacky's POV*

As I was walking out with Jaymee, I overheard the nurse talking to someone.

"You're here to see Vanessa Andrews? What's your relation?" The nurse asked.

Who would be here to see Nessa? I looked at the woman the nurse was talking too.

"I'm her mother." The woman said.

Why is Nessa's mom here? I walked over to the woman claiming to be Nessa's mom. I'd never met her before, only her dad because her mom split when she was young.

"You're Nessa's mother? I mean Vanessa." I said to the woman.

"Yeah I am, and I'm assuming you are the one who knocked up my daughter and never called me to see my granddaughter? " She said as she stared me and Jaymee down as if we were beneath her. She sounded so rude. "Cute kid. Now I must go see my daughter. But I will be seeing you two soon."

Something didn't seem right. One thing I knew for sure though, Nessa's mom is a bitch.
